33 And he arranged the wood, and he cut the ox into pieces, and he placed it on the wood.
34 And he said, "Fill four containers with water, and pour it over the holocaust, and over the wood." And again, he said, "Do this a second time." And when they had done it a second time, he said, "Do it also a third time." And they did so a third time.
35 And the water was running down around the altar, and the pit of the trench was filled with water.
36 And when it was now time for the holocaust to be offered, the prophet Elijah, drawing near, said: "O Lord, God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, reveal this day that you are the God of Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have acted, in all these things, in accord with your precept.
37 Heed me, O Lord, heed me, so that this people may learn that you are the Lord God, and that you have converted their heart again."
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell down and devoured the holocaust, and the wood, and the stones, and even the dust, and it absorbed the water that was in the trench.
39 And when all the people had seen it, they fell upon their face, and they said: "The Lord himself is God! The Lord himself is God!"
